I only spend over $60 on electricity in July and August. My heat and hot water are gas though. June is usually in the 60s.

If you pay for gas you have to include that charge to the savings, because us electric folk don’t pay for that. Also I’m guessing you’re in the north (most gas users are) it’s cheaper to hear a house than cool one. You’re fellow southern citizens use more energy in general than you.

Midwest. My heating bills in the winter are are 30-50 a month. I also have insulated my house very well including all new windows.

I know I'm on the very low end of energy use in my area. I'm just saying the fee would be more than I spend on electricity throughout the year.

In theory the fee would be less their too, idk how your state works (some don’t have any fee yet) but it’ll be different state by state, California is a crazy place compared to the mid west.
